Lament for Frodo



You left me.

Over the seas from the Havens,

You left for the Elf-home, for Eressea.

Tears fill my eyes,

I stand on the shore, watching

The ship carry you far, far away.

How I hate Sauron!

If only he had never been,

Then you would still be here.

But he wounded you too deeply,

Nothing can heal a Nazgûl's slash,

Or the burden of the Ring.

And so I watch you,

As you leave me,

Leaving for the immortality of Eressea.
